About CardFellow

"You shouldn't have to become an expert just to find an honest, competitive credit card processor."

I still find myself saying that a lot these days as I help people here at CardFellow, and that's the very idea on which our service is based.

The goal here at CardFellow is to help you find (and keep) the best credit card processor. And by best, I mean a company that offers honest, competitive pricing and excellent customer service.

It may be tough to believe, but there are honest credit card processors out there. In fact, that's the only kind you'll find here at CardFellow.

Here's how the story goes...

I got my first introduction to credit card processing back when I had to find a processor for a retail store that I owned. I settled on one that I thought was offering a good deal, and I didn't realize I was getting hosed until years later when I learned how things really worked.

This experience opened my eyes to the sad state of the credit card processing industry, and it's ultimately what drove me to create CardFellow. I wanted to create a way for businesses to easily find a fair, competitive credit card processor.

Six years later, CardFellow is going strong. The biggest obstacle is helping people to realize the ridiculously low quotes that they receive in our marketplace. You don't have to take my word for it. Get quotes and see for yourself.

CardFellow is free. We keep the lights on here in the office by earning a small commission from processors if you choose their quote. We don't charge processors an up-front commission (that's a big deal), and our commission when you choose a quote is a fraction of the industry standard. This allows processors to quote you exceptionally low rates and fees.

You're under no obligation to accept a quote, and we're happy to help with any questions as you're reviewing offers.

Is that little guy supposed to be you?

I get this a lot... but, no. The CardFellow logo was designed by someone that didn't know what I looked like prior to creating the logo. However, I think he's a suave looking little guy, and I don't mind the reference.

There are tons of Web sites that offer credit card processing quotes. What makes CardFellow so special?

Three things, actually: greater savings, guidelines and continued service.

We don't charge processors an up-front commission and our commission when you choose a quote is low. This allows processors to offer you lower rates.

We make processors sign a binding agreement that dictates what they can and can't do in our marketplace. For example, they can only quote interchange plus pricing, they can't charge cancellation fees, and they can't lock you into an equipment lease.

We provide free quarterly statement audits to ensure your processing costs stay as low as possible.

How do you select processors for your network?

That's a great question, and it's one that's been answered in more detail over here.
